lyrics

You’re turning 25 today, hope you have a happy birthday
I hope you turn around and look back, now that you’re a quarter of the way
I hope you see everything and everyone that you’ve left in your wake
But even if you could, would you change

When you close your eyes at night, I wonder what you see
Do you play the victim every time you replay your memories
But don’t you see, in everything you touch, the pattern that repeats
Your power, you’ll do anything to keep

Like a page out of the textbook, you’re the perfect poster child
Took all the life out of me just to make yours worthwhile
You put me under your knife, then blamed me when I cried
You knew just what you were doing, ‘cause you’ve done it all your life

I’m turning 19 on Thursday, and I’m picking up where I left off
But I can’t go back to where I was before you came and took it all
‘Cause just like you wanted, I’m blaming myself for the damage that you caused
The cuts you made are bleeding long after you’re gone

Like a page out of the textbook, you’re the perfect poster child
Took all the life out of me just to make yours worthwhile
You put me under your knife, then blamed me when I cried
You knew just what you were doing, ‘cause you’ve done it all your life

You might’ve made me your victim, but really, I survived
I’ll pick up and I’ll move on, but this is who you are for life

Like a page out of the textbook, you’re the perfect poster child
Took all the life out of me just to make yours worthwhile
You put me under your knife, then blamed me when I cried
You knew just what you were doing
You knew just what you were doing, ‘cause you’ve done it all your life

You’re turning 25 today, hope you have a happy birthday
